But sasuke did that because of sahringan(and also because kishi likes to overpower that guy).

1. what is the purpose of the key? Is is just to allow kyuubi's chakra total freedom INSIDE naruto's mind?
2. If the fox is out of his body then why is naruto not dead already?
3. Also if it is inside naruto's mind then how can hachibi's tentacles reach inside and hold kyuubi?

1: The key is used to keep the kyubi's chakra in check. This way it cannot overcome Naruto's mind unless he wants it to or the seal somehow breaks.
So the key just removes the seal inside of Naruto's mind, letting the kyubi the ability to control him if he wins. The fox is still trapped inside of Naruto until he wins though.

2: The fox is stuck inside of Naruto's mind until the kyubi defeats Naruto. If Naruto wins then he will simply be able to allow the entirety of the fox's chakra loose for his own purposes.

3: The same way Sasuke got into Naruto's mind earlier. I would assume that it is a form of genjutsu, but I am not really sure how it works.

Of course, this is just what I figured out from reading the chapters. So I could be wrong for all I know, but this is what I managed to piece together.

In my opinion, this was a GREAT chapter. My favorite part was where Bee told Naruto that if there was darkness in his heart, his head would be bitten off. XP

Ether way, it doesn't matter to much. Maybe B is just all most as kick ass as Sasuke.

That's actual a good point.

At least after one can decipher it.

Killer Bee and the Hachibi have mad genjutsu skillz, word up dawg!

Do you guys remember the turtle gai summoned when lee tried to use lotus on sasuke during chunnin selection arc? To summon something means using ninjutsu right? So it means that gai can use ninjutsu. Then why hasnt he used it in any of his fights? I mean he is the 2nd strongest jounin of konoha after kakashi and you dont get to that level only on tijutsu. So what i think is this:
Gai has been using only tijutsu because he wants to prove/help lee that he can become an excellent ninja even without ninjutsu. So we might just get to see Gai using nijutsu against Kisame if they fight at full strength.

Eh, it was okay I guess. Better than previous chapters anyway.
I wanted Narutos head to be chopped off though >_<
